Phinda Vlei Lodge

Most safaris these days are done in the back of a bouncing Land Rover, modified so there’s nothing between you and the lion pride. But At and Beyond’s Phinda Vlei Lodge, on the east coast of South Africa, the animals come to you, whether that’s while you’re lying in bed, relaxing in your private plunge pool, or drinking a regional wine from the comfort of your table at the open-air dining deck. Check it out at the link in bio. (?: Courtesy Image) #southafricasafari #exploresouthafrica #safarijourney

Aquila sits outside of Cape Town so if you’re planning on travelling there, we recommend either a larger mini bus option for groups or just a smaller car rental option if you’re 4 or less.
